Does that really look like your every-day probability distribution funciton
to you?  To me it looks like the points are much more evenly spaced than any
distribution funciton I've ever seen.  Notice how at samples=50, the samples
are in almost perfect rings, almost like a geodesic dome.  The points are
also considerably more evenly spaced than in the Halton sequence, which
itself is intended to be low-discrepancy.

Also, as far as I know, we don't have the source code that generated the
existing 1600 samples.  The file "rad_data.cpp" containing the data is
credited to Jim McElhiney.
